Annette & MikeAlthough it is sad that Gram is injured, it is also wonderful to have caring children who come and visit or call and send flowers. We are grateful for their sweet spirits and how much they care about their grandmother

We have had quite a week since last Sunday. Sunday morning, I went with my friend, Marietta to visit Malcolm's Mom and found her on her face on the floor. She had fallen when her walker and TV table got tangled and caused her to fall and hit her face on a wooden footstool. EMT came and took her to the hospital so I called Malcolm and he met her at the hospital and I delivered Marietta to Fairfield and returned to the hospital to meet Malcolm there. His Mom has a fractured C2 vertebrae and was put into cervical collar and on medicine for the pain in her neck. The neurologist said the neck was fractured many months previous to this fall, but apparently this was really a bad fall and a miracle she is ok for now. She was in the hospital for a few days and then transferred to a skilled nursing facility to take care of her until she can recover. Kathi Erick, Lisa and our children, Todd, Val, Mike, Amanda have been here to visit with here. We appreciate the flowers and calls to inquire on her. It has been a tough week for us all, but we are hopeful that all will go well and know she is in God's hands.

Gram Weston is not feeling too good. We took her to the Dr. Tuesday and she ended up in the hospital. She has legs that are leaking fluid to the outside of her skin and bowels that are not cooperating - her hemoglobin was very low too so they decided to hospitalize her and find out the cause of her troubles. She is not happy about being there, but by today has adjusted to the situation while they do some testing on her. We have had some good visits and a little TLC helps a lot. he looks remarkably good for 92 years. She just shared a birthday dinner and party with Paige because they both have birthdays a few days apart. Everyone keep her in your thoughts
